At Virginia the Republicans, who were earnestly in favor of Prohibi- tion, were careful to record their votes for the 10th amendment.

Can it be that the Republicans at Virginia, who were so careful to record their votes, for the 10th amendment sacri- ficed their Prohibition principals, when they voted the Republican ticket? Is it any more possible for the Republican party to make laws ‘against and for Prohibition than it is for a fountain to send out bitterand sweet water at the same time.
